[slim] Re: Remote streaming problem

You can only stream MP3 to non-SoftSqueeze players such as Winamp. To create the MP3 stream from your AAC file you need to install Lame which is an MP3 encoder. You also need to specify the maximum remote bitrate for the player - this will trigger the use of Lame to transcode the AAC stream

It's not a known bug, but it may indicate the router is clogging up - insufficient resources to handle the LAN stream. I realize it's a pretty high-spec router but bittorrent isn't especially intensive on the server, just on the router. Try wiring the SB (temporarily) to the router - I believe
